the men. We have acted with prudence
and care, and the result will be conVic-
ton in every case. There is little doubt
tina, the present exposure will lead to
others on other roads. Some of these
are in the Pennsylvania cOmpany's sys-
TEN and some in the Baltimore and
OHIO. 1t is said that the stealing
on these other roads was not confined to
box-car freigkts. Through the aid of
teamsters and yard agents large quanti
ties of pig iron and manufactured iron
and steel have been stolen from cars in
Pittsburg and in several other cities not
far away. These cases VIII be worked

LAW TO COVER FUTURE CASES.
HARRISBURG, Pa, April y "A bill was
introduced in the state Legislature last
night which is Intended to cover such
cases as the railroad car rObberies
brought to light in this city yesterday.
The bill is in the shape of an amendment
TO the Penal Code, "relatiug to the
breaking or entering Of cars or loco
motives" At present there is no specific
law for breaking open a car unless it is
proved that the car Wes forced with in
tent to commit felony. The proposed act
provides, "that any person who shall in
the day time break and enter any car,
CHOOSE or locomotive, or vii
fully and maliciously, either
by day or night, with or without break
ing, enter the same with intent to commit
any felony whatever therein, the person
so offending shall be guilty of felony and
on conviction shall be sentenced to pay
q find not exceeding $500 and TO undergo
imprisonment by separate and solitary
confinement at labor not exceeding four
years.
Of course this cannot apply to the
present cases in Pittsburg, but it will
cover any that may occur 10 the future.

Tho Killing in the Nation.

Special to the Gazette.
POTTsB0Ro, TEX, April 12.-The full
account as far as can be learned Of the
difficulty which occurred in the Nation
last Sunday evening is about as follows
Last summer Dick Sacra and AleC6
Duzan shipped some cattle, ana amongst
the number Were some cattle belonging
to James Christian and James Rounds
A short time ago Dick Sacra was arrested
upon a charge of theft of cattle and
placed in jail at Tishomingo. There was
also warrant issued for the arrest of
Aleck Duzan and William Hamilton.
Last Saturday Dave Hardnicke and jaime
constable, W. G. Porter, to arrest
near here in Texas, and who Was
wanted as a witness in the
case. He was arrested Saturday night
and taken across Red river and turned
over to Hardnicke and Christian, who
started with him to Tishoningo accompa-
MED by james Bounds and Bud Luttrell.
Christian, Luttrell and Hamilton were in
a buggy, and somewhat in advance OF
Bounds and HardniCke, and were met in
the ROAD at Rooster creek, about six miles
north of Harney,by Alec Duzan and Steve
Russell, nephew of DuZan's. Christian
was shot dead in the buggy, Luttrtll was
shot also, but jumped out of
the buggy and fell dead by the
mules. As Bounds and Hardnicke were
approaching, the parties who did the kill
ing rode of. The prisoner never at
tempted to get away, but all came back to
Christians, where the two bodies were
buried yesterday. After tie funeral Hard
nicke went on to rishomingo with his
prisoner. There has been bad blood ex-
listing between some of the parties for
some time. Duzan and Russell are part
Indian. .Duzan does not deny the killing,
but says there is more of it to be done in
the Nation, and that he is not through
yet. Your reporter has conversed with
two men just from Christians to day and
learned the above facts. All parties are
cattlemen in the Nation and well con.
nected and men of means and influence,
and the sad tragedy is regretted by al!
who know them.
